Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.

There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.

It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area

Most people don't do something seminal. I've done it twice: with my tent and my bed. Picasso did it with Cubism.

When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art – and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.

What's really good about the word 'art' is that 'art' is a word like 'love,' or 'god,' or whatever. It transcends so many things.

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

The words went round and round and round in my mind and my body, until I knew they were no longer my words but something that had been carved into my heart. And now my soul was crying.

There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.

I feel physically ill if I don't make work, I don't create. I don't feel very good. I don't feel right, I feel wrong.

I'm not opposed to commerce, even though I'm an artist.

With a little care for each other in the business world, we create a better one. A world in which human beings look after their fellow humans.

It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.

Learning must be like a house with its door always wide open

It takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.

We constantly change the world, even by our inaction. Therefore, let us change it responsibly.

I've been noticing gravity since I was very young.

As you train and as you develop your talents, you do get better, hopefully, or you get out of the business.

I went camping in the Maasai Mara and we moved site every night. I had no idea how spectacular it would be, how removed from ordinary life, or how many animals we would see.

Howard Stern was the only one that was able to get through to me.

Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.
